I guess I always assumed there were always people at vet offices to take care of the overnight patients. It is a good idea to ask next time!litebritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094607429632152600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896158926457932553.post-13775646126994705362013-08-28T07:19:27.821-07:002013-08-28T07:19:27.821-07:00Thanks for the post!

It was sad to see my little fluff ball sick like that. He looks like a forever puppy if you know what that is. I had to take him to <a href="http://www.vet4you.ca/en/about_us.html" rel="nofollow">veterinarian in Toronto</a>. Which is about a 50 mile drive because my little town didn&#39;t have overnight stay. I&#39;m glad to announce that is now 5 years old and healthy as ever!Franchesca Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774629261066485692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896158926457932553.post-29608565941665508072013-07-15T12:20:35.859-07:002013-07-15T12:20:35.859-07:00I find your writing style to be very encouraging a...I find your writing style to be very encouraging and insightful.

The important thing is that you are given the option of keeping the pet at a 24 hour facility, taking them home, or leaving them unsupervised. Some people choose to leave their pet unsupervised for various reasons, others can&#39;t afford the 24/7 facility. I&#39;m fortunate to work in 24/7 clinic so we never have to make this choice, but if I did, I would always recommend transfer to the overnight clinic or discharge home.ERDOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092216548030797180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896158926457932553.post-20776362150377642702013-05-24T16:29:59.537-07:002013-05-24T16:29:59.537-07:00But what if something happens with one of these ro...But what if something happens with one of these routine stable spays when no one is there. It is after all abdominal surgery.<br />My boy had an elective ACL repair, the clinic expected he was staying the night but when &quot;I asked&quot; about overnight care I was told if a Vet got called in on an emergency they would check on him but otherwise he would be alone from closing at 8pm to 7am. I brought him home just prior to the clinic closing and had they refused I would have cancelled the surgery and found another Vet to do his repair.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13744354426654131900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896158926457932553.post-60409837205409992832013-05-23T16:17:09.372-07:002013-05-23T16:17:09.372-07:00As a tech in a daytime small animal practice, I&#3...As a tech in a daytime small animal practice, I&#39;m SO relieved that we have several local facilities that offer complete overnight care, with full time vets and staff on-site, and that our vet refuses to compromise on care for critical pets. The only pets that remain in our clinic overnight are completely stable elective surgeries - spays, neuters, etc. Everyone else is transferred to the local emerg - thank goodness for them!!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781243009063222503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896158926457932553.post-24749620583687840132013-05-21T08:09:13.104-07:002013-05-21T08:09:13.104-07:00Of course you have a huge issue!

The nearest ER that provides true overnight care is 90 miles away. If that is what is needed I would get them there, otherwise they come home with me.
